Branches of trees were broken, window
shutters and signs were wrenched FROM
their fastenings, causing in some cases in

up by the roots in Central Park and at the
Battery. The wooden fence around Castle

Their occupants experienced much
difficulty In making safe landing.
The police patrol boats at once steamed out
on the bay to assist unfortunates. The crew
